No, not all English dictionaries use the same symbols to show pronunciation. Different dictionaries may use different systems like IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) or their own pronunciation guides with unique symbols. It's best to refer to the pronunciation key provided by the specific dictionary you are using.

AnswerAt http://www.dictionary.reference.com you can enter a word in the SEARCH box and see the pronunciation both in the symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and in the symbols of several reputable dictionaries.IPA is uniform, and everyone who uses that system uses the same symbols. Dictionaries, on the other hand, develop their own symbol-systems, and the symbols in one dictionary will not match those in other dictionaries, even though the recommended pronunciation of a word might be the same.You could also use www.thesaurus.com or oxford online dictionary.The following sites also provide pronunciation:http://www.answers.com/http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/dictionaryhome.aspxhttp://www.merriam-webster.com/http://www.pronounceitright.com/ Also You can Go to www.tcyonline.comhttp://www.yourdictionary.comThe following site provides US and UK pronunciation separately:http://dictionary.cambridge.org/
